Inputs

Name	Description
dir1	Specifies a directory you want to add. dir1 is a string.
dir2	Specifies a directory you want to add. dir2 is a string.
flag	Specifies whether to add the directories to the beginning or end of the search path list. flag is a string that accepts the following values. '-begin' (default) LabVIEW adds the directories to the beginning of the search path list. '-end' LabVIEW adds the directories to the end of the search path list.

Outputs

Details

Changes you make to the search path list using this function apply only to the current instance of the LabVIEW MathScript Window or the MathScript Node from which you call the function. Changes to the search path list for one MathScript Node do not apply to any other MathScript Nodes. LabVIEW resets the search path list to the default when you close the LabVIEW MathScript Window or when the MathScript Node stops executing. Use the MathScript: Search Paths Options page to change the default search path list.

If you call this function from a MathScript Node or a user-defined function, a warning glyph appears on the MathScript Node frame. The warning glyph indicates that LabVIEW operates with reduced error checking and slower run-time performance for the MathScript Node. To improve the error checking and optimize the performance of the MathScript Node, remove this function from scripts and user-defined functions. Also, do not change the MathScript search path list at run time. Instead, use the MathScript: Search Paths Options page to configure the default search path list.

This function is not supported in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. Do not use this function in a stand-alone application or shared library.

Examples

addpath('C:\Program Files\National Instruments')
